When to check this page
Users in Spain should consult this page if they experience widespread digital service issues beyond a single application. Signs include multiple unrelated applications failing simultaneously across different devices, persistent payment transaction declines, or being stuck in login loops for various services. While this page offers a broad overview, it is always advisable to also check the official status page of the specific service provider experiencing issues. This ensures access to the most immediate and specific updates directly from the affected entity, which can offer more detailed information regarding the incident and its expected resolution.

FAQ - Spain outages
Is the internet down in Spain?
The term 'internet down' typically suggests a complete national or widespread failure of connectivity. While such an event is rare, localised or regional outages impacting specific internet service providers can occur. This page tracks a variety of incidents, from cloud provider issues affecting many online services to specific telecom problems. If you are experiencing problems, checking this page alongside your internet service provider's status can help determine if it's a broad disruption, an issue with a specific service you are using, or a problem with your local connection.
Which cloud regions serve Spain?
Major hyperscale cloud providers operate data centre regions strategically located to serve various geographic areas, including Spain. These typically include facilities in Western Europe, such as those in neighbouring countries like France, Germany, or Ireland. Additionally, some providers have established or are developing specific regions or availability zones within Spain itself to offer lower latency and adhere to data residency requirements. Examples often include regions designated 'Europe (Paris)', 'Europe (Frankfurt)', 'Europe (Ireland)', and increasingly, infrastructure within Spain. These regions provide the foundational services for many online applications used by individuals and businesses in Spain.
Why do apps go down even when my connection works?
Applications can fail even when your personal internet connection is functional due to their reliance on shared cloud infrastructure. When a cloud data centre region or specific service within it experiences an outage, all applications and websites hosted there can become inaccessible, regardless of your local connectivity. Modern digital services are built on layers of abstraction and interdependencies; an issue with a database service, a content delivery network, or an authentication provider far upstream can cause a cascade of failures, making applications appear 'down' even if your home or mobile internet is operating normally.
How quickly is this page updated?
GlobalOutageMap employs a continuous ingestion pipeline to gather and process outage data from its various sources. This system is designed to provide near real-time updates as information becomes available. However, the speed at which an incident is reflected on this page can depend on the timeliness of initial reports from official status pages, tech media, or community-verified submissions. It is important to understand that this platform serves as an aggregation point for reported and verified incidents, rather than being an official direct source of outage information from the affected providers themselves. We strive to present the most current data available.
What should I do during an outage in Spain?
During a digital service outage impacting users in Spain, it is generally advisable to avoid attempting to 'fix' the problem by performing actions like repeatedly restarting devices or redeploying applications, as this can sometimes exacerbate issues. The primary action should be to consult the official status page of the affected service provider for direct updates and estimated resolution times. This page can offer a broader view of the scope of an incident. Patience is often key, as engineers are typically working to restore service. Avoid speculation and rely on official communications for accurate information regarding the outage and its progress.
